The right's obsession with opposing bilingualism was huge a decade ago but less of an issue now with problematic stuff like Critical Race Theory. The future is pluralism not one monoculture.

Community seems to originate with Little Kabul in Fremont, which dates back to the early 80s. Not sure how many Afghans are recent immigrants.

One thing for sure, is that people from other parts of the World, bring their cultures with them. Some bad, some good. One of the good one's is FOOD. I'd be hard-pressed to find a region that offers a more diverse selection of food choices than SoCal.
You don't have to travel the World, for amazing food choices. It's all, right here.

What I find most interesting is the more obscure or less well known ethno-linguistic groups. I am finding about new immigrant groups or enclaves that I didn't know existed several years ago.

In 1491 there used to indigenous langauges in all those counties spoken fluently in a variety of indigenous communities. Now, most are extinct with their languages. I am from rural AZ and can still speak my indigenous language. One year, I was in LA speaking to an indigenous faculty from UCLA. It was at a conference. We are from AZ. One of the local indigenous guys from California was extremely surprised the tribes in AZ could still speak their language. His was apparently extinct - he only spoke English. RIP to the indigenous people and their languages of the past for much of those CA counties.

Default Hawai'ian Indigenous Languages at Risk of Extinction

Thanks for this data. I have a linguistics friend in Hawaii who is trying to preserve indigenous Hawaiian languages at risk of extinction. Has anyone ever met anyone anywhere in the U.S. who speaks one of these languages: Pohnpeian, Chuukese, Marshallese, Mortlockese, Palauan, or I-Kiribati? The ones who still do may be in their 80s and 90s now. It's urgent to document their linguistic histories. Please send me a Direct Message, thank you in advance!

There are some indigenous languages listed but those that are still spoken are numerically very small.
